Hello all. I am starting to have a problem with my temp running warm. The bike seems like it takes a long time for the temp to come up. Once the temp comes up to normal the longer you ride or faster you ride the higher the gauge reads. The fan only comes on if you sit still for a few minutes. It will run for about 2 or 3 minutes and the temp gauge drops to about 3/4 and the fan cuts off. The temp gauge goes almost all the way to top of the normal before the fan comes on. Is this a problem or is this normal. The temp use to stay about 1/4 the way in the normal. Could my thermostat be stuck partially open? The cooler the temp outside the cooler the bike runs. The radiator is clean and coolant is only a few months old. I don't know how old the thermostat is. Thanks in advance. Dwight
